stesch79  we ran into the same problem with VMware UEM for profile management solution we use.

    Joachim_T I agree. But we are not close to the root cause of the problem we want to see the scale of the problem and involvement of the ServiceDesk on the issue.

    Otherwise one is not fixing the problem but automating a workaround.

      Henno_Keers  Joachim_T I think UE-V will never be a good solution for syncing this Edge profile stuff. Microsoft has confirmed that it will enable https://cloud.google.com/docs/chrome-enterprise/policies/?policy=RoamingProfileLocation for syncing Favorites/settings to a local UNC share. That's the solution I wait for.

        Is there any official statement from Microsoft regarding RoamingProfileLocation?

         

        • What about sync support for on-prem accounts?
          Currently Microsoft Edge doesn't support sync for on-prem accounts. We will be adding this support in a future release.
